SLIP.

Application filed September 3, 1924. Serial No. 735,656.

To all whom it may concern:

Be. it known that I, TAUBE DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Slip, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to slips designed for womens wear, an object ofthe invention being to provide a slip which presents straight lines,which is relatively narrow but which insures comfort in walklng and insitting.

A further object is to provide a. slip which is composed of two straightpieces of material constituting'front and back portions of the garment,the seam lines being located at the side rear portions of the garment,and plaits are formed in the garment extending throughout the lengththereof, the plaits being closed from a point adjacent the waistline tothe top of the garment, and open throughout the lower portion of thegarment so as to allow the garment to expand in walking or sitting andto lie in straight lines when the user is in a standing or uprightosition.

Wit these. and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations 'and arrangements ofparts which will-be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out inthe claim.

In the accompanying draw1ngs- Figure 1 is a perspective viewillustrating a figure on which my improved slip is shown;

Figu of the garment, the view being taken on the line 22 of Figure 1;

Figure 3'is a similar view in section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

In constructing my improved slip I provide front and rear pieces 1 and 2which are of general oblong shape and plan and extend throughout thelength of the garment.

. The front piece 1 is (preferably wider than the rear piece 2, an saidpieces are connected by longitudinal seams 3. These seams, it will benoted, are at the side rear portions of the garment.

re 2 is an enlarged view, in section,

The garment may be supported on the figure by shoulder straps 4 or othersuitable supportmg devices, to which, of course, the invention is notlin ited.

The front piece 1 is provided at its edges and at the sides of thegarment with folded plaits 5. The edges of these plaits are secured tothe garment and, preferably, to the seams 3 of the garment, from a pointadjacent the waist line of the garment to the top of the garment. Theother portion of the plaits from a point adjacent the waistline to thebottom of the garment are open or unconnected so that the garmentcanexpand at itslower portion to permit comfort in walking and not bindthe legs, and also permit comfort when in a sitting posture. As soon asthe figure assumes an upright position the plaits will naturally closeand the slip will give a perfect straight line appearance.

A garment of this kind can be manufactured and sold at a reasonably lowprice, will conform to the mode, and will give the desired straightlines and yet not unduly restrict the. movement of the legs of the user.

Various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general formof the parts described without departing from my invention, and hence Ido not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myselfat liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fallwithin the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim:

A slip of the'character described, conirising front and rear pieces ofgeneral obong shape, the front piece being appreciably wider than therear piece, sai-d pieces connected by seams extending throughout thelength of the garment, plaits formed in the front piece of the garmentat the sides thereof and extending throughout the length of the garment,said plaits closed and having thelr edges secured to the seams of thegarment from a point adjacent the waistgarment.

TAUBE DAVIS
